title: Effect of liposomes containing cholesterol on a hepatic cholesterol-7 a-hydroxylase and drug oxidation system.
abstract: A statistically significant increase (p less than 0.01) in the activities of the microsomal enzymes cholesterol-7 a-hydroxylase (EC 1.14.13.17), biphenyl-4-hydroxylase, aniline hydroxylase, NADPH-cytochrome-c-reductase (EC 1.6.2.4) and p-nitroanisole-O-demethylase, was shown in cholesterol-loaded rat liver microsomes. The data indicate that profound functional changes are induced in membrane proteins by exogenous cholesterol.
